After Zhang Weiren queued up to register, he took his luggage to the dormitory. There were only three dormitories, two for boys and one for girls, so it was easy to find.
He lives in Room 305 on the third floor of a building. The dormitory is for eight people, and four people have already moved in.
Seeing Zhang Weiren come in, everyone enthusiastically helped him carry his suitcases and make his bed.
His bedding had been mailed from home, but he hadn't picked it up yet. He said goodbye to a few classmates and went to the post office alone to pick it up.
Fortunately, there was a post office not far from their school, and he got the things back quickly.
After making the bed, Zhang Weiren followed his classmates to the logistics department to collect this month's food coupons. They walked around the school before going to the cafeteria together.
Looking at the food everyone ordered, Zhang Weiren knew that these roommates' families were all well-off. Except for him, everyone else ordered meat dishes.
In this way, Zhang Weiren began his new school career.
A few days later, Zhang Weifang received a letter from Zhang Weiren. After reading his description of school life in the letter, Zhang Weifang was completely relieved.
After several days of no news, Zhai Tingting became a little impatient and took the initiative to find Zhang Weifang and ask:
"Weifang, is there anyone suitable to introduce me to?"
"Uh, tomorrow, I'll tell you tomorrow."
"Really? Fine, thank you."
In fact, Zhang Weifang had been so busy these days that she had forgotten about this matter. Now that Zhai Tingting asked her about it, she remembered it again.
She spent one point to open Zhai Tingting's first red line. The man was called Ma Hong, 29 years old, a train driver on the railway, with a monthly salary of 58 yuan.
The basic conditions are very good. The only bad thing is that I am a widower and have an 8-year-old son at home.
The matching degree of the two people is 70, and the happiness degree is also 70, which can only be said to be average.
Zhang Weifang spent another point to check Zhai Tingting's second red line, which was a man named Shi Mingda, 20 years old, who worked in a newly opened cannery and earned 30 yuan a month.
The young man is tall and thin, with handsome features and looks very energetic.
The disadvantage is that I come from a single-parent family and the family burden is heavy. I have a mute brother, a frail and sick mother, and two younger brothers and sisters in junior high school.
The compatibility between the two people reached 80, but their happiness level was less than 70, which is also an average marriage.
After get off work, Zhang Weifang first went to the railway dormitory to inquire about Ma Hong's personality and family situation, and also paid special attention to her parents and children.
The railway dormitory is a newly built tube-shaped building by the Railway Bureau. It is also the first of its kind in the county. The brand new five-story building is refreshing to everyone, and the tube-shaped building has become a new residence that everyone longs for.
Those who can live in the railway dormitories are all old employees of the railway. The Railway Bureau is the best unit in that era, so the people here have no worries about getting married.
Ma Hong's ex-wife has been dead for several years. The reason why he has not remarried yet is because his parents are worried that his stepmother will not be good to their grandson, so they are very picky about his new wife.
Ma Hong's job requires him to be away from home frequently, and his parents help take care of his son, so he is not very keen on getting married.
In order to find out about him, Zhang Weifang even gave the doorman a box of cigarettes, which was really a lot of effort.
Originally, the doorman was reluctant to tell her, fearing that she would do something bad. Finally, under Zhang Weifang's eloquent assurance, the doorman told her the general situation of the Ma family.
Generally speaking, the Ma family is well off. His father was a railway maintenance worker before retirement, and his mother also worked in the Women's Federation. There is only one child in the family, Ma Hong, who was born when they were 30 years old.
Zhang Weifang thanked the old man again before going home.
The next morning, Zhang Weifang told Zhai Tingting about Ma Hong's situation and said that she had specially inquired about it, which touched Zhai Tingting very much.
Zhai Tingting was very tempted when she heard Ma Hong's conditions, but she was also worried that she would not be a good stepmother, so she was a little hesitant for a while.
Zhang Weifang told her about Shi Mingda's situation again. Zhai Tingting refused as soon as she heard it. Her family was already burdened with heavy expenses, and she didn't want to find a family that she couldn't afford.
After considering it for two days, Zhai Tingting decided to meet Ma Hong first.
Zhang Weifang was actually in a very difficult situation. She didn't know the Ma family, and they would definitely not be happy if she went to their house to propose marriage.
She thought of several ways, such as a chance encounter or pretending to be a relative of someone in the railway dormitory, but none of them seemed reasonable. After all, if the two people were to meet each other later, the matchmaker must know everything about them.
If she pretends to be herself from the beginning, it will be difficult for others to trust her later when they get along with each other.
After thinking all this through, Zhang Weifang came to the house with gifts on Sunday. She thought that no matter whether it would work out or not, she would get to know him first.
"Knock, knock, knock," Zhang Weifang knocked lightly on the door of the Ma family. Aunt Ma was washing clothes for her grandson at home when she heard the knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Aunt Ma asked as she opened the door.
"Hello, Aunt Ma, my name is Zhang Weifang. I work at the Women's Federation. I have something to talk to you about." Zhang Weifang introduced herself with a smile.
Aunt Ma didn't think much about it and called people in directly:
"Girl, what do you want from me?"
"Aunt Ma, I'm really embarrassed to say this, but I want to introduce a girl to Brother Ma Hong." Zhang Weifang was really embarrassed. She was not a social butterfly and was still very timid when facing strangers.
Aunt Ma was delighted when she heard this:
"Girl, you're not going to introduce yourself, are you?"
"No, no, no, Aunt Ma, I'm already married. The person I want to introduce is my colleague, Zhai Tingting."
Zhang Weifang quickly told Aunt Ma about Zhai Tingting's family situation. Aunt Ma frowned as she listened. Zhai Tingting's family conditions were too poor. How could she be a good match for his son?
In the family, only Mr. Zhai works in the shoe factory. The others are farming at home and are a burden.
Aunt Ma refused without even thinking about it.
Zhang Weifang saw this and wondered how this could work. She quickly changed the subject:
"Aunt, your grandson is eight years old this year. With Brother Ma's conditions, it's easy to find a good one, but you still have to consider the grandson, right? When the stepmother gives birth to a child in the future, she will definitely treat her child better."
"This is human nature. Isn't it the same for Zhai Tingting?"
"Yes, but Zhai Tingting's family doesn't have much foundation. Even if she has children in the future, they will rely more on the Ma family."
To put it bluntly, she wants to find someone with worse conditions who is easier to control. At least she dare not treat her ex-wife's children harshly in public.
Of course, people with good character generally won’t cause trouble for children at all. At most, they will just ignore them, which is pretty good for children.
But if you meet a particularly good person, he or she will treat the child as his or her own. Of course, such people are rare.
